Week 6 Picks

Got the first three games right last week and then missed the last two taking the season record to 12-6.

at Baylor -29 West Virginia - This is Baylor's first real test of the season, though calling the Mountaineers a test is maybe a bit of an exaggeration.  Still, West Virginia beat Oklahoma State last week.  But the Bears have been playing at another speed this year and piling up points in scary fashion.  This one ended 70-63 last year, but only one of these teams is going to get near that number on Saturday.  This one will be more like the Maryland shutout a couple weeks ago of West Virginia and Baylor starts to get a little more national recognition.

Central Florida -9.5 at Memphis - Memphis has been bad for the last couple of years yet somehow rose up and won 31-7 last week against Arkansas State.  Central Florida has been tested this year and has a win at Penn State and a close loss to South Carolina.  The Golden Knights subdue the Tigers handily.

Texas Tech -16.5 at Kansas - Coach Kingsbury has the Red Raiders rolling right now and the Jayhawks won't have an answer for his attack.  Texas Tech will have this number covered by halftime as they move to 5-0.

at Miami -6.5 Georgia Tech -The Hurricanes are starting to look a little bit like some of their championship-run teams.  The Yellow Jackets struggled last week against Virginia Tech and those struggles will continue in front of a half-filled stadium against Miami.

at Bowling Green -27 Massachusetts - This is going to be rough year for the Minutemen and the Falcons aren't going to make it any easier today.  This is Bowling Green's homecoming game and they're going to send the alumni home happy with a big win.
